[Adore]

How nice to see it all!

well, i'm new to this forum. decided i should start making gratitude lists so here goes...warning- it's gonna be a long one cos i ramble.

1. grateful for the money i saved up in the last year - which i'm basically living off of now. grateful for my coworkers who i miss a lot and who made life there bearable for as long as i stayed there.

2. grateful i dont have to get up each day and commute to a job i hate. grateful for the person today at the meeting who shared about how she hates her job too. grateful for her for leadling the meeting and showing up today even tho im looking for friendship from her and am disappointed she's not interested...

3. grateful for the meeting. grateful a lot of people showed up. it's better that way. you get more of a feeling of unity when there's more people and the group is bigger. I raged tonite there.

4. grateful LL helped me last nite with work issues. grateful PP helped me with the same stuff. both of them helped me get the part-time gig today. i owe them both gratitude.

5. grateful it was a sunny day here. grateful i got to lie in the sun outside in the middle of the day. one advantage of not working full-time. secretly i like to laugh inside at the people who are all working at their jobs...but i'm sad too i'm not one of them.

6. grateful i had the courage to tell sis how i feel about her not returning calls from me. grateful she took it well and got over it.

7. grateful i got to release anger tonite at meeting. really really grateful about that.

8. grateful i was lost some moments today. cos you cant always know where ur headed. grateful i made it thru that part of the day and didn't commit suicide cos i was sure feeling that down!

9. grateful for my skills and education cos they're what got me "hired' for a part-time gig today. proud of myself for it.

12. grateful i'm getting to know a girl from program, j. grateful for programs!!! BIG TIME! grateful for places to release my emotions and be truthful with myself. grateful for loving men i meet in the rooms like f. they are so opposite from my alcoholic father who is a hard, hard man.

13. grateful to hear stories about people who've had it worse than me. unbelievable stories you hear! makes my situation seem less bleak.


15. my brother hasn't called me back yet after two tries but he text messaged me that he loves me....so i'm grateful for it. good to be loved by somebody and good to be told so..i tell everyone i meet these days that i love them. sort of a phase i'm going thru of needing others and greedy for it.

16. grateful to my neighbor for her kindness in forgiving me for being a brat when she first moved in. grateful for her not holding a grudge against me. grateful for her good cheer!

20. grateful for the way i feel during and after yoga - all relaxed. and it feels like the tightness goes away and some of the engery starts moving around in my body and the tension lifts. i feel lighter and sleepier afterwards.
